How often do you go through your child's school work?

I've seen posts where people go through daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and (uh oh!) even at the end of the year. The end of the year would completely overwhelm me. I'd like to get on a weekly schedule, and definitely would like to eventually have this part of Julia's job. I'm thinking if I start off this way from the beginning, and actually schedule it for (as an example) every Friday it would have better chances of getting done, and turning into a habit.

How often do you go through their work? Do you have a method, or just pull the best work and stick it in a binder?

everyday to see how the child is doing, if things need to be gone over again, and see how they are learning, i always know how they are doing. another reason i dont have to test them! i already know what they know and what they dont!

daily.. as soon as its done i try to look it over.. I dont know when I will throw the worksheets & stuff away. We have not been doing this long enough to know when it will feel right.

With crafts/ artwork some stick around on the fridge or I keep it in our school space for dd to see or play with for a while.. It all kinda rotates & gets put in the trash (if its not a project i want for a keepsake) once she forgets about it.

Since Jo is so young and needs lots of instruction I will have to sit with her so I would not have to go through it persay I would be sitting right there. SHe does alot of crafts and such so I have a bin that she neatly puts her stuff in and we go through it together at least once every two weeks but try for every week. We mail some pieces to family ( her idea) and they love it , we toss some, reuse some ( turn it into something new or use the back for doodling paper) and save some in a folder.
